Lee Grant claims it's not just the younger players excited about Ronaldo, saying the senior members of the squad cannot wait to play with the legendary Portuguese forward.
He told talkSPORT: "The excitement is palpable (in the dressing room) not just with the younger players.
"The thing that struck me and made me realise this is huge is actually the reaction of our more senior players."
Grant added: "I was at the nursery picking up one of my children and one of the guys - one of our more senior players - and to see the look on his face and his excitement, bordering on giddiness at the fact we've been able to bring Cristiano in was a real eye opener for me."
The back-up goalkeeper continued by praising the club's 'smart move' in re-signing Ronaldo.

"It's a really smart move from the football club and the manager," he said. "We've got a lot of really talented young players at this football club.
"We talk about the impact Edinson (Cavani) had when he came to the football club and the impact he's having to this day.
"Ronaldo will bring that same level of professionalism and example that is vital for our young players, who are still making their way in the game.
"We've got young players, but they are top young players, so to learn from the pinnacle, the apex predator in Cristiano Ronaldo, there's going to be none better."
